Translation enhancing 5-UTR + mRFP under control of T7 promoter
mRFP (BBa_K283035) under control of the T7 promoter (BBa_I719005). The part includes a translation enhancing sequence, 5'-UTR, which improves the binding of the mRNA to the ribosome ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2676996 Olins et al. 1989]). The 5'-UTR sequence contains a spacer of 10 adenine bases which has been shown to further enhance translation efficiency ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23927491 Takahashi et al. 2013]). For further details see BBa_K1758100.

Usage and Biology
mRFP is synthesized when T7-polymerase is present. This part is a mRFP generator superior to BBa_K1758105.
Results
This part was used to charactize the effect of our designed, translation enhancing 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR; BBa_K1758100), on protein production.
We employed this mRFP generator, BBa_K1758105, and two sfGFP generators (BBa_K1758102 and BBa_I746909. This was done to check if the our designed, translation enhancing 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR; BBa_K1758100) was useful for translation in general. We constructed PT7-UTR-mRFP (this part) after assembling PT7-mRFP (BBa_K1758105). For mRFP fluorescence signal normalization on OD600 we faced the problem that mRFP emits fluorescence at 607 nm (Lentini et al. 2013). We also tried to express mRFP in vitro to check if it might be a reporter protein equally or better suited for our purposes. mRFP was excited at 580 nm, its emission was measured at 610 nm.
In vivo characterization
In vitro characterization
In vitro mRFP expression with this construct (PT7-UTR-mRFP) showed us that mRFP was not nearly as well performing as sfGFP in in vitro experiments (see BBa_K1758102). Although we observed a fluorescence signal differing from the negative control, this signal was very low and raising very slowly, as depicted in the figure below.
